1. Soil

Iris dentata is suitable for growing in sandy soil rich in humus and good drainage. You can choose humus soil or mountain soil containing more humus. Slightly acidic loose soil or iron-containing soil is also suitable for its growth.

2. Light

It likes shade and avoids direct sunlight. It is recommended to plant it in a ventilated and shaded place, which is more suitable for its growth. When the sun is strong in summer, it needs to be shaded to prevent the leaves from being burned or scorched.

3. Temperature

It likes a warm environment. The most suitable temperature for its growth is 15-30℃. When the temperature is high in summer, it needs to be cooled appropriately to prevent it from growing poorly. The temperature should not be lower than 5℃ in winter, otherwise it will affect its growth.

4. Watering

It likes a humid environment. It must be watered thoroughly every time and cannot be watered half way. Water when it is dry and stop when it is wet. Watering is usually done in the early morning or evening. Do not water or pour water at noon. It is generally better to use clean, pollution-free, slightly acidic water (PH value 5.5-6.5) for watering.

5. Fertilization

It does not require much fertilizer. Some organic fertilizers can be applied appropriately. Fertilization is mainly done by foliar spraying. During the growth and development period, foliar fertilization is sufficient once every 10 days. Farmyard manure is a good organic fertilizer, but it must be piled and decomposed for more than a year before it can be applied.
